× Music is not only reflexive but also helps me achieve deep focus.
✓ Music is not only reflective but also helps me achieve deep focus.
The word 'reflexive' is incorrect in this context; the correct adjective is 'reflective', which means thoughtful or capable of reflecting. 'Reflexive' relates to grammar or automatic responses, which does not fit here.
× I relaxed myself by being surrounded by nature, which is really calming.
✓ I relax myself by being surrounded by nature, which is really calming.
The question asks about what the student does to relax generally, so the present tense 'relax' is appropriate instead of the past tense 'relaxed'. Using present tense matches the habitual action context.
